@Eva01-jy2qu7pu9r you do realize that Yasuke had an anime come out a few years ago right? Like literally nothing was said. Now they want to loosely follow a historical figure (who can be considered a samurai like do proper research) and making him the protagonist for an interesting story.

Servant? no no, he was a SLAVE. Ubi here are comitting three crimes: 1. they turned a gaijin slave into a Samurai - a title, profession and position which was transferred from father to child and took YEARS of training in dojos to achieve 2. the japanese culture is very negative towards outsiders, especially non-Asian's non-Japanese personnel - it is not Racism but Japanese Supremacy, in their culture it is deeply engraved that Japanese people the the smartest and strongest in the world and all other nations are pussies, and Japanese people would go far and wide to protect their country and the name of their country whatever means necessary - as an example this is also why Japan refused to surrender in WW2, had it wasn't for the american nukes Japan would continue the western pacific war for YEARS after the war in Europe ended. 3. according to Japanese law - when it comes to national history it is ilegal to call fantasy truth and title historical fantasy as historically accurate events - in movies, series and any form of media including games. therefore Ubi are committing a crime in Japan - technically the game could never really be released in Japan because Ubisoft would be sued by the Japanese government and the game would be banned for sale in Japan. i stand with Japan - FUCK UBISOFT!

Just like disney

Bro that what Ubisoft does...it takes a nobody from history and turns him/her into a ,,legend" i mean if you as a person still aspect Ubi to make a historically accurate Assasins Creed game......for ef sake also you can chose to play with Yusuke or the girl so I don't see the problem you just pick the Girl and forget about him....idk maybe it's just me but this hate it's just stupid

Thanks soros and blackrock for that.

That's why Nioh and Samurai Warriors worked, while they had historical figures, they kept the game as a game that while inspired by history, is not to be taken as gospel. However, what AC:Shadows did is that they said Yasuke is this battle hardened samurai when in reality, he carried Nobunaga's swords, the same Nobunaga who wasn't commanding soldiers in the frontline by the time Yasuke was introduced to him. I watched Gunshi Kanbei and Yasuke only appeared in one episode in 2 scenes, his presentation to Nobunaga by the jesuits and the presentation of Azuchi Castle. He wasn't even shown when Nobunaga was meeting with his generals in the same episode.

​@@akanomamushi15 he was just a slave

The worst part was the legion of "wokeys" that gone to Wikipedia and constantly edited Yasuke's page to fit Ubisoft's narrative. It pains me when ignorance and zealotry leads to the erasure of our history. It is in a smaller scale, but it reminds me a few years ago when, in the middle east during the ISIS territorial expansion, islamic fanatics entered museums and monuments and destroyed thousands of years statues, art, carvings, and temple ruins just becase it was against the quran. We should preserve history, and learn both from the achievements and errors of our ancestors. If we forget and ignore it, we will eventually repeat the same mistakes. And unfortunely, this groups are fast-tracking to that.

Fictions, fantasy, whatever is all welcome but, to say the game is based on facts is a lie and a slap in the face to japanese people.

@@madmanmadlad2876i wouldn’t call him a slave. He worked under nobunaga, and if u know anything of the guy, he knows a person with talent when he sees one, even if he, himself is a crazy killer madman. Basically, im trying to say i don’t believe yasuke was used as a slave, under Nobunaga’s watch.

And many non-Japanese people who like Japan, relative authenticity in historical games, etc. also hate this, including me.

It's the fact Ubi doesn't care, they're only making this game cause of how GOT did

It’s globalism in action.

its easy for these people to try this because of the degree of separation, bet ya they wouldnt dare to their faces

Yet they cannot be honest with their involvement in WW2. Especially towards women.

史実を元にしたフィクションなら、ここまで批判される事は無かった。 史実なら、正確に描けば文句は言わない。 これを事実と称して、嘘の歴史を流布する事自体、日本への侮辱行為でしかない。 歴史をゲームにする事は、舞台になった国の文化に触れることなので、尊敬して、雑なストーリーや時代考証は舞台になった国への侮辱でしかない。 ゴーストオブツシマは日本では高く評価されているし、舞台になった対馬では感謝されている。 時代考証は雑な所もあったが、主人公の生き様を描いたストーリーは良かった。 アサシンクリードとゴーストオブツシマの違いは舞台になった国への尊敬が有るか、無いかの違い。 肌の色とか言っても、白人、黒人、黄色人種にも各種、民族がいて、差別や民族対立もあり単純なものではない。 それに、アサシンクリードは過去作品は舞台になった国を忠実に再現して良かったのに、日本が舞台になったら、時代考証は雑、時代改変と、アサシンクリードを楽しみにしていた人々を失望感に追い込んだ怒りもある。 ＵＢＩが日本の強い反発で言い返せなくて、人種差別と言って、話題をすり替えようとしているだけ。 例えば、昔の日本の写真を左右反転で使っているけど、和服は右前が正常で左右反転で左前になっているが、左前は死人を弔うための死装束、仏像も左右反転で仏像の手の位置は人間の魂を救う意味があり、逆だと意味をなさない。 もし、キリスト教で、同じ様な事をしたら、宗教関係者から猛烈な抗議がいくよ

Being realistic, they misrepresent their own country when it comes to ww2

Same here.

The problem is that these people have perceived that nerdy Caucasian men often regard the Japanese as honorary whites. I think this incident was likely due to a bunch of feral white women trying to further humiliate white men. Sadly whites have a pathological avoidance of defending their own culture. Weaponized guilt and empathy, and even (in conservative circles) religious dogmas. While I agree with the video creator I think nerds would have an easier time defending Japanese culture than their own.

Keep fighting for it because look at W-hite people they are no longer allowed to have a culture let alone supporting their own heritage.

Keep fighting or you'll end up like the west who aren't allowed to have their own culture let alone support their own ethnicity.(which my comment was removed for even saying said ethnicity should be supported.)

調べりゃすぐにわかるのにね。日本語で喋っても機械翻訳扱い、 英語で喋れば、白人のレイシスト扱い。お前らの方が余程レイシストじゃねーか。 差別が盛んだったころ白人女性は黒人男性の使用人の前で平気で着替えをし、 バスの並びでは黒人が並んでいても平気で白人が先に乗ったって言うけど、 それと同じ、居ても居ない者として扱われいる。 They could easily find out if they looked into it. When we speak Japanese, white people treat it as if it's machine translated, and when we speak English, they treat white people as racists. Aren't you guys the bigger racists? When discrimination was rampant, white women would change their clothes in front of black male servants, and when queuing for the bus, white people would get on first even if there were black people in line, it's the same as being treated as if we don't exist even though we're not there.

首切り大好きなのはギロチンを娯楽として楽しんでいたフランス人のくせして本当よう言うわ

We don't hate black people, we're angry that our history is being disregarded. There are many great samurai. Many records remain. So it's strange to praise someone without records as a great samurai, ignoring them. In the case of the Olympics, it's like calling an athlete with no records the outstanding athlete of the time, ignoring the gold medalists who have records.

Canadian white dude here, and a lifelong admirer of Japanese history and culture. The fact that this insult can be termed "frustrating" speaks volumes. Blinding, white-hot rage wouldn't be out of line in this instance, if you don't mind my saying so. Even when mortally insulted, politeness first? That REALLY impresses me. Sincerely.

I will start this with Ubisoft sucks and I don't play their games due to it being Ubisoft and their history of regurgitating the same game over and over with a different skin and microtransactions. However... History and culture belongs to noone exclusively. Dividing stuff up by race and saying only one race can make fictional content about certain people is flat out racist. We are all humans and it is human history. Any sane person doesn't look for historical accuracy in a freaking video game. Perhaps make your own game that is historically accurate if that is what you are looking for. Either way i would recommend not supporting ubisoft tho but the faux outrage over a video game not being historically accurate is laughably silly. This is not a documentary

there's a high chance that Yasuke didn't even exist. He was only mentioned by the jesuits, and the jesuits were known to make nonsense up .

@@Ancient_Entity race is connected to culture. Sorry but that is the fact. And you sound like a leftist trying to steal other people's cultures.

@@Ancient_Entity Cool, so by that logic we can make a game about how a white dude was kidnapped in say, idk, Roanoke island, and he adopts and becomes a native American. You know, but he's white, would that be ok with you then?

@@merisius How is this a joke exactly?

The above is an English translation Mr. Okamoto, a former Capcom employee (who retired 20 years ago), says that Yasuke was a samurai, but his statement is based on something he read in a guidebook in Mozambique. This guidebook is nothing more than a fairy tale that was heavily embellished by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and was based on Thomas Lockley's book and lip service to Mozambique. Japanese people cannot say for sure that Yasuke was 100% not a samurai, but the possibility is 0.001%. It's as unlikely as an unidentified creature.

As it stands, many believe that Ubisoft is *Way* past the ‘bargaining’ stage by this point.

Very true. Japan has done it. They could’ve done it too, but they went the wrong way with it.
